Project M:25 Missions

What Project M:25 Missions does

Project M:25 Missions is a US-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 84-4839652) founded in 2012 by missionaries Bobby and Tamitha Lynch, headquartered in Anniston, Alabama, with its flagship 2.5-acre Agua Viva campus in Quito, Ecuador. The organization delivers holistic, trauma-informed child and family development through a proprietary framework called the THRIVE Model, which addresses four interconnected dimensions of wellbeing — physical, mental/emotional, relational, and spiritual — developed and academically credentialed in partnership with Lee University's Holistic Child Development Program. Its programs are organized into three pillars: Give Care (clean water filtration systems, holiday sponsorship, and humanitarian/disaster relief), Give Learning (after-school Kids Club, adolescent mentoring, women's empowerment, and parent education), and Give Training (a tiered certification suite including THRIVE Community Care, Thrive Kids & Teens Mentoring, Thrive Orphanages, Thrive Crisis, Thrive Advocate, and Site Certification, plus structured internship and visiting-group programs).

Revenue is generated across six concurrent streams: recurring individual donations through the Thrive Monthly Partnership, child sponsorship via the Amigos program, one-time and recurring targeted donations for specific programs (Give Water at $150/unit, Give Christmas tiers of $25-$140), training certification fees priced at $25 in Latin America and $99 in the US via Thinkific, one-time curriculum sales (Emotional Explorers VBS kit at $99 founders / $299 standard), and mission-trip fees for visiting groups registered through ServiceReef. Since inception the organization reports serving 16,052 children, equipping 3,071 leaders, training 471 partner organizations in 2025 alone, and stabilizing 77 communities across Ecuador. Currently it is executing the Multiply the Mission capital campaign to construct an International Training Center on the Quito campus to scale certified replication across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
